Our tour guide was hilarious and an absolute joy to be around. John was amazing. My husband and I very much enjoyed all the history we learned and how it was told.

We had 48 people in our group. It was just way to big and couldn't even hear the tour guide. Wasn't a good or fun experience at all.

All the tours go out with 50 or more people and we try to go out with less. However, this one unfortunately had more people. But the guide uses an amplifier so everyone can hear

Probably the worst tour I’ve ever been on. The tour guide didn’t make any sense and would go off on his own tangents. Very hard to follow and didn’t even really talk about witches. Went to the Salem Witch Trials Memorial graveyard, but just stood outside of it and didn’t get to go in like we saw other tours do. He kept taking us to random spots in the city (an alley??) to give his spiel, but could not have one cohesive thought. 45 minutes in we’ve finally had enough and decided to break off from the tour and look around ourselves. You’re better off saving your money and either find another tour or tour yourself.

This tour does not discuss the witchcraft history of 1692. The literature on line clearly states that. The memorial is not a graveyard. There are no bodies at the memorial. We do not go into the memorial because every group in the city goes in and then it is impossible to get out because there is a four foot path. The alley way is the story of the Blue Lady and is not a random spot. Seems as though you might not have been in the proper frame of mind to take a tour or to hear the stories.
